SHITSTORM – MEINUNGSSTREIT IM MUSEUM
In the organizer's words:
Museums should collect, preserve, research, communicate and present - but should they also provoke?
Anyone who deals publicly with Jewish issues after the Shoah is operating on emotional terrain. The establishment of Jewish museums in German-speaking countries alone has given rise to major conflicts over conceptual content, interpretative sovereignty, egos and emotions. It is no different today with some topics and some temporary exhibitions.
On the occasion of 25 years of the Jewish Museum of Franconia in Fürth, the JMF takes stock of three topics that caused a great deal of controversy at the JMF Fürth: Interpretive sovereignty, looting and restitution, myths of tolerance. What happened, what effect did the debates have and where do we stand today?
The exhibition series begins with the topic of sovereignty of interpretation and presents a retrospective of the controversial satirical exhibition "Feinkost Adam" by artist Anna Adam, which was shown at the Jewish Museum of Franconia in Fürth in 2002.
